    ?

    The two of them were not speculative, and Feng Qiqi slammed the door and left. Since then, the relationship between the two has been completely broken.

    Zhao Miaomiao ordered Qiuyue to gather all the people in the palace into the courtyard, and there were many imperial guards standing faintly around.

    "Mistress An was frightened this time. After thinking about it, I felt that the occurrence of this incident must be related to the people around the empress. Maybe someone put something that shouldn't be put on the empress, which caused the dog to only attack the empress alone.  Or someone took the empress's things to lure that dog. No matter what, it's better to find out the truth. If the person who tampered with it stands up now, this princess can spare her life."

    The maids and fathers-in-law who were kneeling on the ground remained silent in fear, each of them had different thoughts, but no one stood up.

    Zhao Miaomiao yawned lazily, "Imperial Guard, go in and search, search carefully." The Imperial Guard had to order everyone's room to search, but found nothing.

    "Now there is a reward report, as long as someone tells anyone about their abnormal behavior, they will be rewarded with one tael of silver." Zhao Miaomiao raised his chin and said, "If no one speaks all the time, everyone will be assigned to Xinzheku."

    Xinzheku is a place where people go, and if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.  Everyone was silent for a moment, and then a little eunuch said submissively, "I saw Qiu Meng stealing your mother's hairpin."

    Zhao Miaomiao signaled Qiuyue to write it down, and threw a tael of silver to the little eunuch, who caught it in a hurry and bit it foolishly.  Seeing that there was such a good thing, other people rushed to speak one by one.  There was a lot of noise for a while, and the imperial guards drew their knives to threaten them.  They fell silent immediately, curling up like quails.  Then one by one they started speaking,

    "Xiao Jiazi ate steamed buns secretly."

    "Grandma Wang gathers people to gamble."

    "Ruqing met with Xiao Lizi from Yongning Palace in private."

    "Mr. Zhao got up in the middle of the night and disappeared for a while."

    "Like a dream cursing the empress"

    ? Threats and lures are two-pronged.  Those who have done nothing wrong in this matter are of course happy and at ease, and can get a few taels of money for nothing with a single sentence.  Zhao Miaomiao took a sip of tea to refresh herself, then took the booklet from Qiuyue and looked at it patiently line by line.  He stood up, scanned around, and asked, "Which one is Rumeng?"

    A cyan figure at the end trembled for a moment, then stood up staggeringly, "It's a slave."

    "You come forward." Zhao Miaomiao said.

    Rumeng felt that Princess Qi was staring at her all the time. When she walked in front of Zhao Miaomiao, she almost fell and tried to stabilize her mood. She clenched her fists tightly, and the hands hidden in the sleeves were shaking slightly.  .  She didn't leave any flaws behind. She didn't believe that the seventh princess would find anything, and the imperial guards didn't receive anything just now.  Thinking of this, she calmed down a little.

    Zhao Miaomiao ordered her to raise her head, and walked around her twice at a leisurely pace.  Rumeng pursed her lips, trying not to let herself be frightened, her dark eyes accidentally met Zhao Miaomiao's for a few seconds, and hurriedly staggered away.

    "Your purse is not bad, let me take a look." Zhao Miaomiao pointed to the purse at her waist.

    "Yes, Your Royal Highness." Ru Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her stiff expression relaxed, and she untied her purse and handed it to Zhao Miaomiao.  This purse is very common, many people have it.

    Zhao Miaomiao took a closer look at the purse and opened it again. It was just some fragrant flowers and plants, which many maidservants in the palace would wear.  After smelling it, I didn't notice anything unusual, "What are you in charge of in An Jieyu Palace?"

    "Reporting to Your Highness, the status of servants is lowly, and they are only responsible for cleaning outside the palace."

    "In that case, how could you steal Empress Ning's hairpin?" Zhao Miaomiao asked.

    "Damn the servant, the servant squinted for a while, begging the princess for forgiveness." Rumeng knelt and kowtowed a few times.  "The empress lost it, and the servant picked it up."

    "What kind of hairpin did your lady drop?"

    "It's a jade butterfly hairpin. The servant girl is confused when she looks good."

    "Yudie hairpin" Zhao Miaomiao glanced at the top of her head and asked again, "Where's the hairpin?"

    "The servant is pawned."

    "Check her. Check carefully." Zhao Miaomiao said.  The imperial guards led away alone, Rumeng bowed his head and knelt, unable to see the expression on his face.  Zhao Miaomiao was not in a hurry, and someone led her to Rumeng's house.

    "Turn on the lights." Zhao Miaomiao said.  Immediately someone came over and lit a few more lamps, illuminating the dark room brightly.  Looking at the messy room, Zhao Miaomiao looked down at the ground, not knowing what he was looking for, and then went to Rumeng'sI searched for the wardrobe and bed for a while.

    After an hour, the investigators came back and explained Rumeng's situation in detail. Her family was poor, and for no reason, she suddenly had a lot of money recently.

    Zhao Miaomiao paced over with her hands behind her back, bent over and sniffed at Rumeng, then grinned and said, "Without the incense purse, the dog smell on your body finally came out."

    Rumeng's complexion changed, and she sniffed at her sleeve reflexively, suddenly came to her senses, paused, and tilted her body, "Impossible, impossible, there is no dog smell, I have bathed"

    Zhao Miaomiao chuckled, "It does not smell like a dog, and I don't have a dog's nose. I just found a few dog hairs on your clothes. Besides, I heard that your family has become rich recently, so go to a pawn shop to pawn it."  There is more than one jade butterfly hairpin."

    "SlaveSlave" Rumeng was stunned, wanting to explain something.

    "Catch him and interrogate him, and save his life." Zhao Miaomiao waved indifferently.  The imperial guards stepped forward to detain the person mercilessly, first removed the chin, hands and feet to prevent suicide, and then dragged the person away.

    Rumeng disappeared into the night before she could even utter a word of begging for mercy.  The rest of the people were silent, and in the dark yard, everyone felt a chill.

    "You have all seen Rumeng's fate. I don't care how many of you are other people's eyes and ears. From today on, you must guard Lady An steadfastly. If something happens to Lady An, none of you can escape.  If you die, your family will never have a good death." Zhao Miaomiao said coldly.

    "Ah, don't come here" There was a scream in the room, Zhao Miaomiao's expression changed, and she hurried into the hall. An Ning closed her eyes, sweating profusely, and was caught by a nightmare.

    "Mistress An, don't be afraid, it's just a dream, the dog is dead, the child is fine, and the person who hurt you will pay the price." Zhao Miaomiao repeated softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Qiuyue brought a basin of warm water  Come here and wring the veil dry.  Zhao Miaomiao took it and wiped the cold sweat off An Ning's head.

    An Ning calmed down and fell asleep again.  Zhao Miaomiao watched her until Yinshi, seeing that she no longer had nightmares, and then led her away.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
